Aromas are pineapple, malt, citrus like orange and a hint of resin. Flavors are like nose, leaning sweet with enough bitter and slightly soft carbonation to balance. A bit of warmth in the finish. Not bad not great.

Aromas are kind of basic common citrus, resin and malt. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose adding in lots of stone fruit mainly mango. Slightly on the sweet side with enough bitter and carbonation to balance. Good but been done many times before.

Canned 2/20/26, drunk 5/4/26.
Very aromatic, instantly filling the area with rich brown bread and toffee. Light berry-like acidity and mild toast balance. Clean, bright, balanced.
Dried herbs and a deep maltiness showing brown bread, graham cracker and a hint of roast, not so much toast. I like that quite a bit more than the more dry, scratchy toasty versions. This is deeper, rounder, fuller and ridiculously flavorful for its size. Brightly flavored and balanced by herbal notes and mild fruitiness from the darker malts. My first from the traditional P3 series and it certainly won't be my last.

Pint can pours with a clear gold colored body that supports a nice near with head of foam. The aroma offers up spicy garlic terpenes, that I always find inviting, with a background of maybe pineapple and a few other tropical notes. The taste delivers that spicy earthy garlic to onion dankness that's highly influenced by the aroma. As that quickly subsides there's softer pineapple to mango like tropical hoppiness that doesn't really fit that well with the terpene experience. Good beer. Further sips betray the palate as it leans more floral hoppiness. This beer is growing on me.

A Brewver Top 50 for the style. 16 ounce can from Tavour. Bright copper colored pour. Large puffy tan head. Aromas of fresh baked bread and toasted malt. Flavor is more of the same. Added notes of toffee and soft, supple hops. Wonderful balance and flavor. Some peppery hop bitterness in the fish.

Aromas are cut grass, malt and pine resin. Flavors are similar to nose and bittersweet. Fitters feed up front more speed in the middle with a long bitter finish. Full body and good carbonation.

Brownish black in my 5 oz. glass, think ring of tan foam. Barleywine smell, plus a kind of oatmeal mash? More of a bourbon taste, frankly, than the Marshmallow Fun Size. A sweet bourbon taste instead, no noticable bitterness. Further down, I think the oatmeal in the nose was more of an unmodified malt that just adds to its character.

Can from Tavour. Pours lightly ruddy amber with a transient beige head. Caramel malt/toast with a little hop of some sort. Med body. Malty in a caramel/toast way. Almost enough bitter to balance. Can't pick out a particular hop style - it does seem to have a light spice aspect.

Canned 3/2/26, drunk 4/18/26.
Juicy and fruity with lots of ester and noticeable lactose, though it isn't obnoxious. Good minerality, lots of fruit salad and white grape. For 46 days old, it's still intense and wonderfully aromatic. Chalky dry hop. No alcohol noted.
Juicy, soft, tropical and white grape-laden with low but, I think, ample bitterness. It's like a tropical-orange juice smoothie and it's not full of lactose, thank god. Creamy, succulent and juicy.

Can from Tavour. Pours very hazy gold with a smallish white head. Aroma is mostly citrus and there's a green leaf note. Med body or better. Lots of smooth carbonation. Juicy but more dry than sweet. Balancing bitter. It has a green leaf aspect like kaffir lime, and there's some white berry/lychee. Not particularly complex, but quite tasty.
